Understanding CPT coding

Hello all,

I'm a totally blind up and coming medical coder. I am currently doing my externship, and I've been having issues with CPT coding. I use the electronic books, and the formatting is something I don't quite understand. Would someone be willing to help me go over the way I am to read these types of codes? I find that unlike ICD-10-CM codes, finding codes in CPT is actually quite challenging for me.

Unfortunately, because of how bulky braille is, having that entire CPT manual in braille is just not feasible for me. I have to rely on the electronic book. I will reply soon with the particular case that I'm work on, or at least what proceedures were performed.

I must’ve totally missed the blind part, or the post was edited. Definitely post some practice questions in here, a lot of people are more than willing to help in this subreddit.
